Wednesday, January 30 finds the Dallas Mavericks facing the New York Knicks for the second and final time in the 2018-19 regular season.

In their last game on Sunday the Mavericks fought tooth and nail with the Toronto Raptors before finally succumbing 123-120. In contrast, the Knicks, who last played Monday lost a low scoring affair to the Hornets 101-92.

The past two years the teams split their season series and in the initial game, this season the Knicks won in Dallas. The Mavericks hold the all-time record having bested the Knicks in 40 of their 75 matches.

Dallas Mavericks

Luka Doncic became the youngest player in NBA history to register a 30 point (35) triple-double which included 10 assists and 12 rebounds.

In fact, all the starters scored in double-digits plus reserve player Dorian Finney-Smith,

Throughout the season the Mavericks have feasted on their home court and struggled on the road. But, recently they’ve struggled to win at home as well losing three of their last five.

Perhaps this is partially due to the loss of J.J. Barea who tore his Achilles heel versus the Wolves on January 11th. Since then, the Mavericks have won just twice in seven games and are clearly missing his energy, playmaking, and leadership.

New York Knicks

New York struggled to score against the Hornets with just three players reaching double digits. Rookie Kevin Knox led the way with 19 points while Tim Hardaway Jr. produced a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds.

Youngster Mitchell Robinson (10) was the third double-figure scorer as David Fizdale continues to get his youngsters more playing time.

Four players are out all with varying return dates in February. Luke Kornet (sprained left ankle) is due back early in the month. Emmanuel Mudiay (strained left shoulder) and Frank Ntilikina (sore groin) will be out until mid-month.

And Kristaps Porzingis is expected to make his season debut next month as he returns from tearing his ACL.
